First off I just want to say that Billy & I send our prayers out to everyone on the east coast, who was hit by Hurricane Sandy Monday night. Even though we aren't on the coast, Ohio definitely got a feel of Sandy too. Winds were up to 50mph or maybe even higher. Thousands are without power to this day. Billy & I are really thankful that we were the lucky ones that didn't lose power. I'm hoping every who was effected by the storm are in a safe shelter until they can receive help. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you.

It has definitely been a while since I've posted something on here, my life has been pretty crazy.
These past couple weeks I've learned a lot. Lets just say it was definitely an eye opening experience.

On October 4th, my Poppy (grandpa) was complaining of severe bad pain, Poppy is not the type of guy who really shows emotions and he doesn't have any kind of like for hospitals nor doctors. We knew something was really wrong when he wanted my dad to take him to the hospital.
Cutting to the chase, Poppy was diagnosed with Prostate & Bone cancer. We found out that he has been actually fighting it now for 3 years, but no one knew neither did he. The news really hit hard & just so fast. My family was in a complete frenzy.
My Grandfather is 83yrs old, with his age he wouldn't be able to handle chemo or radiation. The only option was for him to get ejections every 6 wks. My Grandpa is my everything. He gets me & supports me all the way, no matter what it is. I just can't imagine my life without him. Just knowing he's going through all this just breaks my heart. I just want to take it all away from him, but I know I can't. All I do know is that I'm going to be by his side through this fight. He's not going to be doing it alone.

My Family & I would deeply appreciate it if everyone could keep him in your prayers. I'm not ready to lose my Grandpa & I'm not going to let it happen.

Honestly, Poppy getting sick all fast like this, really had me thinking crazy things. I started doubting God. I was ashamed of myself for doing such a thing but I just didn't understand why it had to be Poppy.
Thursday night Billy was taken to the hospital by squad, he was not feeling good at all. Doctors found Pneumonia in his lung and they admitted him. The whole time Billy was in there, we prayed & just watched the Christian channels & it really made me open my eyes that I'm letting the devil get to me , way too much. I was in need of changing that right away & decided I'm going to live for God. I'm going to change my ways. Poppy is in God's hands & so was Billy. I just had to put more faith into him & that's what I'm going to continue doing. If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't have been able to fight cancer when I was a baby. God has a plan for us. He will never give us something that he knew we wouldn't be able to handle. Billy is home now & is doing just fine. It's amazing how powerful prayer can be.

Count your blessings...
